Our culture is dynamic (as we perceive it) because our memes are often very volatile: newborn in one generation, swaggering with power in the next, doddering in the next, and laughably old-fashioned in the next. Nonetheless, there is a central core of culturally fundamental memes that we’ve been transmitting with total fidelity from the foundation of our culture ten thousand years ago to the present moment. — Daniel Quinn
